Zayed Centre for Research powers ahead with seven stars at the helm
Most complex surgery involves operations on a single patient but there are procedures that involve two. That is work in vitro such as that carried out by Prof Paolo De Coppi, who works at London's Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children, the dedicated facility that pursues genetic and regenerative breakthroughs for conditions affecting children. Precision implants Prof De Coppi…
The Zayed Centre for Research (ZCR) in London is making significant strides in rare disease research and treatment, with seven prominent researchers leading the charge. Prof Paolo De Coppi, a pioneer in mini-organ development, leads a team that includes stem-cell biologists, cell culturists, and bioengineers. Their work on spatial sequencing or spatial transcriptomics allows them to examine gene expression within 3-D tissue, offering valuable insights for personalized organ grafts and precision medicine.
ZCR, which opened to patients in October 2019, partners with Great Ormond Street Hospital and is dedicated to providing gene and cell therapies for seriously ill children across the UK and internationally. With over 13,300 patients attending its outpatient suite since opening, ZCR has ushered in a new era of hope for rare and complex diseases through its multi-disciplinary approach, combining breakthroughs in gene therapy, regenerative medicine, diagnosis, and innovative treatments.
